WE POWER PEOPLE’S PROGRESS.
At Preply, we’re all about creating life-changing learning experiences. We help people discover the magic of the perfect tutor, craft a personalised learning journey, and stay motivated to keep growing. Our approach is human-led, tech-enabled - and it’s creating real impact.
We’ve just reached unicorn status with a $150M Series D, accelerating our vision to transform education through human-led, AI-enhanced learning. Today, 100,000+ tutors teach 90+ languages to learners in 180 countries - and we’re only getting started. As a category-defining company, we’re shaping what the future of learning looks like at global scale.
Every Preply lesson sparks change, fuels ambition, and drives progress that matters. Joining Preply means helping define the future of education at global scale, and building something that truly matters for millions of people, every day.
Meet the team!
Every great learning experience at Preply starts with great data. Our data product team builds foundational data products from governed, reusable data models and semantic layers. They power analytics, AI (classic ML and LLMs) and the necessary context for agentic products, helping Preply drive growth, innovate faster and become a truly AI-native company.
